Thats because the online gaming for the ps3 is shite....

Dont forget Xbox have been doing online gaming for years, Unlike playstation....

Online gaming is so much better on the xbox than the ps3!

Also it is well worth the Ł40 mates the games soooo much better, Ie when playing project gotham when you complete a race it tells you how you did compared to your mates that have already done it!

DoJJ - Just hook it upto a modem setup an online profile and you will get 1month free!

if sony can do it for free i think xbox should be able to as well

Ps2 was?? dint know that.....

PS3 online gaming is nothing compared the the 360, I was messing around on a friends and didnt find the interface very good, That friend also had a play with my 360, and went and got one the next day....

Well Im more than happy to pay for it as its an awsome service!

Im guessing you dont pay for your internet as Orange do it for free?

how can ps3 online gaming be shite, there is more PS3 owners who play online, on here than shitebox who play online & its free.


ps3 online gaming is awesome, specially when you into 'shoot em up' games. I Hear that the xbox's crashes alot online, never have problems with the ps3. i do think online gaming on xbox should be free, come on, you pay Ł40 a year...well most people do, then you gotta buy the games to play online, dont forget your ISP. Also is xbox wireless??? As the PS3 is....its awesome imo

even though the 360 is a unreliable piece of poo the online service is far superior to sonys attempt and the only time it is down is when they are doing maintenance and yes the xbox can be wireless so jog on mate

xbox 360 win's hand's down over the ps3 for online gaming anyone who say's it doesnt is on smack

I was playing halo3 last night and there was 491,000 people online just playing halo3

Not to mention people who were playing other game's

If any people who have got a ps3 play's online with a 360 they will be trading the ps3 in the next day.

I was a proper sony fan but the ps3 is.... Well dogshit.

They might get better in the next couple of years but by then the xbox720 will be out

thats the thing with the xbox they keep bring out new ones every 5 mins

and when u add all the money u have to spend to bring an xbox up to the spec of a ps3 it works out to be more money than the ps3

and every year u have to pay Ł40 adds on to the bill dont it

but tbh u either have one or the other

PMSL at PS3 people jumping on post about XBOX. Get a life geeks DO you feel insecure to have to post saying how good your console is, or are you trying to convinve yourself the extra was worth it? make me laugh.



Will renew my subscribtion tomorrow... Freaking ebay is raping me this month.

can you network a PS3 with you PC so you can stream music/videos to your tv/surround sound etc?

Ł40 a year, less than a pound a week!

is it worth it? HELL YES!!!
